OK, this just in from FFG. The new big box game is HORUS HERESY, obviously a 40K-themed board game and I _think_ it may actually be a ridiculously produced edition of the old game of the same name, it's not really clear.

The bad news is that it's another $100 two player only game. That's a little disappointing for a FFG big box. The good news is that it looks and sounds awesome, and if it's the old GW game it should be really good. If it does well, maybe they'd do BATTLE FOR ARMAGEDDON and DOOM OF THE ELDAR too.

Overall, I think it's great news- I've been wanting more 40K board games, and here it is. The box looks awesome, and the pieces pictured look great. Slated for March 2010.

Just got a press release from House Petersen...they're entering into a partnership with Q-Workshop to release some special ARKHAM HORROR dice. They look pretty cool, black with green print, and featuring an art deco font, some filigree, and Elder Signs for the 5s and 6s. That's a cool touch. They should have had Montery Jack face-palming for the 1s. There are pictures, but I'm an idiot and can't get them small enough to post here. I'll try again in a little while.

They'll be available anywhere finer dice are sold.

What's next? ARKHAM HORROR miniatures?

Fantasy Flight Games has announced the upcoming release of a Silver Line version of the Reiner Knizia cooperative game, Lord of the Rings.  The new version will retain the famous John Howe illustrations while also updating some of the graphics and components.  There is no word yet about whether any of the expansions are planned to be released in this format, but this version will not be compatible with the existing expansions.

Dragon Rage updated player aid
At Flatlined Games, we want our products to be of perfect quality.
The reprint of Dragon Rage was tainted by a small typographic error on one of the player aids : the Dragon target values for the wings (4+) and legs (5+) had been inverted on the Dragon Combat Summary player aid.
We immediately made available on our website a corrected PDF, but we felt this was not enough to correct this small typo.
So, we reprinted the Dragon Combat player aid, with the english version on one side and the french version on the other. We will include that corrected player aid on all future shipments, of course.
We cannot ship the updated player aid to all existing customers of Dragon Rage, but any customer coming to our booth (4-216) at the Essen Spiel'11 fair with the 'proof of purchase' token will receive one, with our apologies.

Dragon Rage in Essen
The remaining 1000 copies of Dragon Rage will be available on our booth (4-216) at the Essen Spiel'11 fair with English, French or Spanish rules. A limited print run of 200 german copies will be available from our german partner, Brave New World (6-111).

Rumble in the House available at Essen Spiel '11 and in Belgium
We also are happy to announce that we received our shipment of 'Rumble in the House' from Ludofact. They did a great work and the components quality is very good. Rumble in the House will be available on our booth (4-216) at the Essen Spiel'11 fair. The game will also be available in Belgian shops starting Tue 14/11/11, for those not going to Essen. This first print run of 2900 copies is available in five languages : French, English, German, Dutch, and Spanish.
We will be looking for distributors at the fair so the game will hopefully be widely available shortly thereafter.
